E. E. RICHARDS 
E. E. Richards, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, is 
President of the American Poultry Associa¬ 
tion, one of the oldest and largest livestock 
organizations in America. This Association 
is now fostering the propaganda for increas¬ 
ing poultry and egg production as a source 
of food supply. It is confidently expected 
that the services it has rendered this year 
will increase the poultry production by 100,000 
pounds. 
T HE connection between patriotism and an 
increase in the food supply is one that has 
interest not only for the farmer, but for 
the suburbanite and the city dweller as well. 
Especially is this true of poultry raising, a means 
of production particularly suited to a restricted 
area on the home grounds. 
Poultry is one of the most important items in 
the food supply in the present crisis. Secretary 
Houston of the Department of Agriculture has 
enthusiastically called attention to the importance 
of poultry raising in the following statement: 
“Through increased attention to poultry, it is pos¬ 
sible to add quickly and materially to the food 
supply. Small flocks of poultry should be kept 
by families in villages and towns, especially in 
the suburbs of the large cities. The need for this 
extension of poultry raising is particularly great 
where consumption exceeds production.” 
The fact that poultry raising lends itself to 
limited quarters makes it a most desirable method 
of meat supply, and it is also true that from no 
other source of meat production can the same 
quantity of desirable meat be produced so eco¬ 
nomically and so quickly. 
The amateur breeder will find the many varieties 
of Rocks, Wyandottes, Reds, Orpingtons and Sus¬ 
sex are ideal for limited quarters. If eggs are 
most desired, the Minorcas, Leghorns, Campines, 
Anconas and Andalusians will fill the basket. The 
purchase of a few yearling fowls or baby chicks 
of one of the large standard varieties is recom¬ 
mended as a starter. Do not attempt to raise too 
many. Usually the fatal mistake made by ama¬ 
teurs is to prefer fifty unprofitable fowls to a 
dozen that are profitable. It will be necessary 
to build a cheap poultry house or to convert some 
suitable building into a house for the fowls. 
A dozen or twenty fowls can be easily cared for 
on a small part of a city lot, and can be fed largely 
on table scraps and refuse from the kitchen and 
garden, as chickens require vegetable, animal and 
grain food. The parings from all vegetables 
either cooked or raw, bits of cabbage, lettuce, 
tops of beets, carrots, cereals, bits of bread or 
meat all make the choicest kind of poultry food, 
and require only a small part of grain to complete 
a most satisfactory diet. 
The Department of Agriculture has recently 
made an estimate that the garbage can costs the 
United States more than $7 annually for each man, 
woman and child, or about $700,000,000 in all. 
This garbage properly fed to poultry would make 
a wonderful addition to our food supply of choice 
meat and fresh eggs. 
Those who are interested in poultry or who 
contemplate starting a small flock will find the 
following bulletins issued by the Department of 
Agriculture of great educational value. Any or 
all of them will be mailed free to anyone making 
application to the Bureau of Poultry Husbandry,
